To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration are the Prospectus, dated April 15, 2016 (the “Prospectus”) and other materials relating to the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation (the “Company”) of the Company’s securities, pursuant to subscription rights distributed to all holders of record of shares of the Company’s common stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 14, 2016, the record date, referred to as the “basic subscription privilege.” The subscription rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on June 20, 2016, unless extended by the board of directors of the Company.

Each non-transferable subscription right entitles the holder, subject to certain limitations, to purchase either: (i) one-eighth share of the Company’s 6% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for $25.00 per share (“Series A Cumulative Stock”), or (ii) one-sixth share of the Company’s 4.8% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for $20.75 per share (“Series B Convertible Stock. The Series A Cumulative Stock and the Series B Convertible Stock will not be listed on any securities exchange.

The subscription rights are not transferable.

If any holders of rights do not exercise their basic subscription privilege in full, then holders of rights will be entitled to exercise an over-subscription privilege, subject to certain limitations and subject to allotment, to purchase a portion of the number of unsubscribed shares of Series A Cumulative Stock or Series B Convertible Stock, if any, at the same subscription price as the basic subscription privilege. A holder must exercise the basic subscription privilege in full in order to exercise the over-subscription privilege. If over-subscription requests exceed the number of shares available, the available shares of Series A Cumulative Stock and Series B Convertible Stock will be allocated pro rata among the holders of subscription rights exercising the over-subscription privilege as described in the prospectus.

 

The Company will not issue or pay cash in place of fractional rights, fractional units or fractional shares. Instead, the Company will round down any fractional rights to the nearest whole right, any resulting units to the nearest whole unit and any resulting fractional shares to the nearest whole share.
